Born Howling (Book 1) COMPLETED

Chapter 46 Hunter

Stretching my hands above my head I found out quickly that everything hurt. I mean everything, even my hair. What the...Looking around I noticed I was in the nurse's back room. Again. Last thing I remembered was waking up and taking a cold shower because I was so hot. I was really getting tired waking up in this room.

My personal needs were screamed for attention. Making it into the bathroom before anyone saw me was a miracle. Feeling more human I took a moment to wash my face, it was then I seen the dried blood and dark red marks on both sides of my neck. I did the embarrassing scream. The bathroom door busted in with Uncle John taking up the whole door, looking around for the threat. There wasn't one, it was just me and the blood. Uncle John visibly relaxed till he seen my face. I wasn't sure what it looked like since I wasn't sure what I was feeling besides confused, scared, and ashamed. The last had me even more confused.

"Hunter?" Uncle John voice was filled with concern.

Pointing at my neck, my hands shock so bad I was glad I didn't have a hot drink in my
hand or I would have been wearing all of it. "What...why...how...when?"

"Oh." Was all he said and winced seeing my neck. "Let's talk." He held out his hand
waiting for me to take it. I did and he led me to the main room.

As usual it was filled with the usual suspects. My uncle's, Nikko, Grayson, C.J., Jarek,
Sam, Vic, Amanda, and a couple of the camp counsellors. All of them watched me walk in
with different expressions. Concern, fear, and anger. All except Jarek. He kept his back to everyone, staring out the window. Nikko and Uncle Adam were the ones who looked angry. The others had a mix of fear and concern. None of them would say a word. They all just stared which
made my anxiety shoot through the roof.

"Will someone please tell me why I am here, why everyone is freaked, and what
the hell happened to my neck?!" Ok I was beyond freaked and everyone was making it worse.
There was no holding back my attitude at the moment. When some of them lowered their eyes I knew it was bad. "What did I do this time?" If they wouldn't look at me I knew it must have been bad.

"What do you remember?" Uncle Adam asked, his voice giving away nothing.

Yep I was still bitching and just reached explosive. It seems my mood had changed very
little since I first woke up. "If I remember what the hell happen then I would not be standing here asking you would I!" Oh I would probably regret that later but not right now. I was starting
to breathe heaving again and it was getting very hot in here.

"Hunter! Show some respect," Nikko scolded.

"Respect? Respect! I'll show you respect all right. As soon as someone tells me what the
FUCK is going on! Why is it so damn hot in here?" My whole body shook. I was
burning up from the inside out and I needed air.

"It's happening again," Jarek's soft words seemed to echo through the quiet, shocked
room.

"If you stick me with that needle I swear I will break your arm," I growled at Amanda as I seen her try to sneak up behind me. That caused a gasp from a few people.

"Grayson, C.J.? What happened last night after you left here?" Uncle Adam asked them but staring at me like I was some kind of freak show.

It was Jarek's bitter laugh that caught my attention and him who answered my uncle's
question. "I had to dump a bucket of water over their heads before clothes started flying
off." He didn't try to hide the bitterness from his voice. "Grayson was playing dentist
while looking for cavities in Hunter's mouth with his tongue."

I stood there dumbfounded, Grayson glared at Jarek while he glared back, my uncle's were shooting not friendly glances at Grayson, and Nikko stared at his son in complete shock.
Vic cleared his throat before he spoke. "Balance." He turned and put all his attention on me. "Hunter you need complete balance."
